(3) Inclusion of nutrition in policies related to food production and consumption and the mechanism of granting incentives.
(4) Ensuring food safety and quality and reducing food loss and waste.
(5) Modify the business models of agricultural enterprises, and improve access to inputs, finance and markets, especially for those who are currently disadvantaged such as rural women, youth, migrants and refugees.
- Round Table 2: Building Resilient Rural Communities for Better Production, Better Environment and Better Lives:
Building resilient agro-food systems and resilient rural communities requires a comprehensive strategic approach to risk management through strategic interventions aimed at:
(a) understanding multiple risks (eg vulnerability assessments and early warning systems).
(b) Strengthening disaster and crisis risk management.
(c) Reducing risks and vulnerabilities on farms and institutions through appropriate interventions such as climate-smart agriculture, shock-responsive social protection and agricultural insurance.
